Interpol took to their website today to announce the release of a 10th anniversary edition of their now-classic debut album, Turn On The Bright Lights. Out November 20th, the reissue will include a remastered version of Turn On The Bright Lights, a deluxe hardbound book with photos, a DVD featuring music videos and concert footage, plus a bonus disc that includes demos, b-sides, live versions, and unreleased material. Seems like quite the package. Preorders also come with a replica of the band’s first merchandise item, a button with the original Interpol logo. Order the reissue on either vinyl, CD, or digitally, over at the Interpol website, and read a statement from guitarist Daniel Kessler on the release below:
“In 2002, we released our first album, Turn On The Bright Lights. We had waited close to five years for the opportunity to record an album. Needless to say this was a memorable moment for us. We never had any expectations for how the album would be received. We just wanted to present our music as an album to anyone who would be open to hearing it. It was incredible to finally tour and see people react to these songs. We never could have imagined that the album would have reached so many people throughout the world.
We spent a good deal of time this past year digging through our archives and asking others to dig through theirs in the hopes of uncovering some forgotten material. The result of our hunting and gathering has yielded this Tenth Anniversary Edition of Turn On The Bright Lights. We wanted to do something special for the fans who have always supported us. We wanted to do something special for the best fans in the world. We hope you enjoy it.”
Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kessler
